plate rotates toward the outlet end, and liquid material is squeezed out.

[0006]Yet still another object of the present invention to provide a
container for nail polish, wherein the face of the pushing rod is a
positioning side mounted at one side or two sides of the elongated body.

[0007]A further object of the present invention to provide a container for
nail polish, wherein the outer side of the valve seat is a cap for
covering the container.

[0008]A further still object of the present invention to provide a
container for nail polish, wherein the cap is provided with an elastic
pad for sealing the container.

[0009]Another yet sill an object of the present invention is to provide a
container for nail polish, wherein the bottom of the center of the ring
is provided with positioning ribs for holding the gear rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, there is shown a container for nail
polish having an elongated body 10. The inner edge of the hollow interior
of the body 10 is provided with protruded stripe 11, and the inner edge
is divided into an upper and a lower section. The upper section is a
storage chamber 12 for holding cosmetics or cosmetic creams or lotions.
The top end of the body is an outlet mounted with a valve seat 13 for
delivery of feeds. The outlet of the seat body is provided with bristles
14 for the application of nail polish. The external end of the elongated
body is a cap 15 for capping the edge of the outlet. The interior of the
cap 15 is a sealing member 17 which is urged by an elastic member 16 such
that the valve seat 13 and the bristles 14 can be capped by the cap 15,
preventing the leakage and allowing the container to be carried around.

[0018]The lower section of the inner edge has a positioning screw mount 20
having protruded stripe 11. The center of the screw mount 20 has a screw
hole for the positioning of the pushing rod 21. When the pushing rod 21
is pivotally mounted with a valve plate 22, the pushing rod 21 can be
slidably control. One side or two sides of the pushing rod 21 has a
positioning side 211. The protruded stripe 11 at the inner edge of the
body 10 is mounted with an elastic member 23 to urge a gear component 24
such that the protruded stripe 41 urges the positioning side 211 and form
as a unit with the pushing rod 21. The bottom edges of the gear component
24 are provided with gearing face 242 which is engageable with the top
edge gear of the gear shaft 25. The gear shaft 25 passes through the
center of a plastic ring 26, and together with the protruded rib 261 at
the bottom section of the ring 26, the gear shaft 25 is slidably moved
axially. The end of the body 10 is a control element 27 directly linked
to the plastic gear shaft 25, the pressing of the control element 27
urges the gear shaft 25 to slide inward. The interlinking of the gear
face of the top edge gear with the gear component 24, the gear component
24 moves slightly which urges the pushing rod 21 to rotate at the same
direction. When the screw mount 20 and the protruded rib 11 are engaged,
the pushing rod 21 rotates and protrudes to the other end. At the same
time, the valve plate 22 at the top end of the rod 21 pushes toward the
inner end of the storage chamber 12. This is the delivery operation of
the material from the storage chamber.

[0019]As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the up and down pressing of the control
element 27 can control the rotation of the pushing rod 21. The engagement
of the top edge gear face with the gear face of the unidirectional gear
causes the pushing rod 21 to rotate and deliver material. The elastic
member 23 mounted within the container restores the pushing rod 21 and
other components to their original position. Thus, continuously delivery
of material is achieved.

[0020]When in application, uncap the cap 15, the pressing of the control
element 27 controls the pushing rod 21 to rotate and move upward and the
material is squeezed to the external side of the valve seat 13 and evenly
distributed onto the bristles face 14. In use of the nail polish, the
body 10 is hold with the thumb and the first finger, and apply onto
finger nail with the bristles 14 faces the finger nail. As shown in FIG.
5, the delivery of the material (nail polish) is control and the nail
polish is evenly applied onto the finger nail. If the material is not
sufficient, the depression of the control element 27 will squeeze out the
material, facilitating the application of nail polish onto the finger
nail.

[0021]In accordance with the present invention, the valve plate 22 at the
top end of the pushing rod 21 will prevent the leakage of the material.
In particular, the cap 15 is also used to seal the material from leakage
from the elongated body.

[0022]While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and
described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to
be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various
omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and
details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by
those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of
the present invention.
